Chapter 671: Chapter 671: The Disputes of the City Bureau_1

While Wang Ye was still shopping in Weidenghan, his counterparts at the city bureau had already received a report from Liudmila and had urgently convened a meeting to discuss their response.

Liudmila had driven herself to the station and reported directly to the Director in person, worried that she might not be able to explain the situation clearly over the phone.

The Director, upon hearing the report, acknowledged that it posed a challenge, but he was not overly fearful.

For one, he was not responsible for the mess at hand, so even if Mikhail would want to cause trouble, he wouldn’t aim for him.

Secondly, he was the big boss of the city bureau, after all!

Being such an important figure, they even respected him within their first faction.

Even though he was not on par with Mikhail, Mikhail would still have to respect the face of Grezlov or the Kremlin, they couldn’t give him a hard time.

Moreover, respect should be mutual!

If Mikhail really didn’t want to give him face and insisted on causing trouble, he wouldn’t be afraid!

They were not from the same "system" and even if things turned sour, as long as the government was willing to protect him, Duma couldn’t do anything to him.

Moreover, in Duma, Mikhail was just a vice speaker, with Grezlov, the speaker, above him!

Don’t forget that Grezlov happened to be the party leader of the first faction...

So even though the Director held these thoughts, he still didn’t want to end up in disagreement with Mikhail, the Deputy Speaker of Duma, and the new rising star in the political arena, hence this matter needed careful attention.

So, he called a meeting with the key executives of the Bureau to strategize a response.

...

Within the meeting room, Liudmila was standing cautiously, explaining the whole situation to the deputy directors once again.

The responses after hearing the report were mixed.

Flammie had the most drastic reaction, slamming the table just after hearing Liudmila’s presentation.

He exclaimed with indignation, "How dare you treat Chairman Mikhail that way! Even arrested him into the police station? Are you guys going crazy!"

His current position was largely due to the support and help from Wang Ye.

In Flammie’s heart, Wang Ye was his biggest supporter!

A relationship deeply rooted in shared fortunes!

Now his subordinate had arrested his supporter, how could he possibly endure it.

The Director raised his hand, trying to soothe him, "Flammie, calm down, now that this has happened, what we need to discuss most is how we face this and solve this, instead of hastily attributing blame."

Flammie barely managed to keep his calm, knowing that he had to respect the Director.

The other deputies were also expressing their opinions, some blaming the branch office for causing trouble for the city bureau, others proactively suggesting solutions.

Eventually, the Director made the decision to entrust this task to Flammie.

Tomorrow, Flammie and Liudmila would go to Duma and make a formal self-criticism to Deputy Speaker Mikhail, deeply reflecting on their work mistakes and assuring that the whole Moscow police system would rectify seriously and that this kind of incident would never happen again.

"Flammie, only you are the most suitable to handle this matter, we all know, you have a good personal relationship with Deputy Speaker Mikhail, he would probably give you some face.

Therefore, having you represent the city bureau to make this self-criticism is the most appropriate!"

As for Liudmila, after reporting on your work tomorrow, she will be suspended for some time for self-reflection, this can be seen as giving some explanation to Deputy Speaker Mikhail.

After about two months, when this problem is settled, you can go back to your position as branch office director.

And that young man under you, let him get lost to Chukotka!"

The Director instructed decisively.

His arrangement was indeed experienced, and also gave adequate face to Wang Ye.

The other Deputy Directors quickly expressed their agreement.

Of course they agreed, after all this problem didn’t require them to take a stand themselves, it was given to Flammie anyway.

No matter the result, it had nothing to do with them.

No one wanted to get tied up with this mess!

Deputy Speaker Mikhail might not be satisfied with the disposition of the city bureau, and might vent his anger on the person delivering the report...

However, Flammie wasn’t content with this decision, he protesting with his face all red and neck strained, "Director, if you truly want me to go, it’s not impossible, but I think this disposition is too lenient! I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult to explain to Chairman Mikhail."

Meeting Mikhail was not an issue, but Flammie genuinely felt there was a problem with the Director’s disposition plan.

According to Liudmila’s description just now, Mikhail had emphasized that the behavior is widespread among the Moscow police and it had already affected the business environment!

That set the tone quite high, Flammie understood, since Mikhail spoke this way, that means this matter is extremely serious.

Mikhail wouldn’t let this pass lightly...

If he were to meet Mikhail with such a disposition result, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble!

The Director squinted, he’s already having some opinions about Flammie right now.

Although they were in the same "trench" fighting against the previous director, but after overthrowing the previous director, when he succeeded as the director and Flammie directly skipped ranks to take up his position as the Deputy Director, their relationship had become somewhat delicate.

This position of Deputy Director was meant to be for his own people, but it was "snatched away" by Flammie.

Furthermore, this Flammie now identifies himself with Mikhail’s faction, especially since Mikhail has become the Deputy Speaker of Duma, Flammie’s voice in the bureau has become much louder...

The Director had seen all this with his own eyes, naturally feeling a bit resentful.

"Oh? Then what do you think we should do?" asked the Director with a composed expression.

"We should naturally solve the problem from its root, put forward a detailed plan to rectify the work style, strictly ban all police from extorting money from foreigners, checking passports only means checking passports, and not deliberately making things difficult for others.

We should all be clear about the current situation at all levels.

To speak frankly, the entire system is almost completely rotten!"

Flammie said without reservation.

His words unsettled the deputy directors present since Flammie was stating the truth...

How corrupt the police system had become over the years, they, the insiders, were surely more aware than anyone else.

But it was also a helpless reality, who could help that the financial budget provided by the state was far too low to even feed their families.

In that case, everyone had to use their little power to earn some extra benefits for themselves.

Flammie made it sound simple, to rectify the whole system, to ban the police from extorting money under the guise of checking passports, but if it were implemented, wouldn’t the grassroots workers be full of grievances!
